Guess that was me and I like the description of it - not sure I understand the problem pointed out by Jonathan. Maybe you can explain a bit more? We can add the switch to new installations by default and we can still deactivate/activate on demand. It would work like the self reg one now does too (point for consistency).
I think the self-reg is a suboptimal implementation, which is why I've opened bug 28457.
We shouldn't require sysadmins to change crontabs in order to get cronjobs to work using system preferences.
It defeats the whole point of Bug 24968.
Ok, I am not going to insist on the switch any longer. I've also added the topic to the dev meeting agenda a few days ago, because I think we need to reach a decision that will unlock the 2 waiting bugs and more to come for good. But... from our own experience: especially the self reg ones are quite dangerous. If you put a 'wrong' patron category type into the pref, it will delete a big chunk of your users without batting an eye (and they are delete-deleted, not moved). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
